It said some of the paratroop ers dropped near Teminabaun have withdrawn under attack and that the Dutch garrison had rushed up reinforcements. The Dutch said an army unit stationed in Teminabuan "launched a rapid aggressive ac tion," killing the Indonesian commander and another para chutist and wounding three. The Dutch said they had no losses. Reinforcements were sent to the area for "further neutraliza tion of the demoralized and scat tered parachutists," the Dutch said. Capture Claimed The Indonesian news agency Antara claimed Indonesian guer rillas had captured the town of Demta, SO miles west of Hollan dia. Antara said heavy fighting continued around Fak Fak, south of Vogelkop, and Kai mana, on the south coast. It said Fak Fak was under continuous guerrilla harassment and most of its population had been evac uated. However, AP correspondent Hal McClure reported from Fak Fak that life was proceeding there as usual. Antara claimed 18 Dutch ma rines were killed last Tuesday in a clash near Fak Fak after hundreds of Indonesian para troopers had been dropped in the area. The story was denied by G. W. J. Van Dyk, chief of the Netherlands Defense Min istry's information department. He said there had been no Dutch losses since the Indo nesians began dropping para troops into West New Guinea three weeks ago. Marines Said Cut Off Antara said the marines, freshly arrived from Hollandia, had been cut off from their main group and driven back in to the rugged jungles. President Sukarno told cheer ing crowds In Jakarta Sunday night Indonesia is ready to meet force with force if the Dutch want to settle the West New Guinea dispute by arms.

Wl Rob ert Webster, who gave up his American citizenship to live in the Soviet Union in 1959, has returned home disillusioned and tired but with hopes of undoing "the wrong I did." Webster, 33, a former plastic technician in Cleveland, Ohio, arrived at Greater Pittsburgh Airport from New York Sunday night. Ho rodo some 20 miles by taxicab to Zelienople where he went into seclusion at his father's home. Webster, who left his wife and two children behind when he defected after going to the Soviet Union in 1959 to set up a Rand Corp. plastic exhibit in 600 Treated After Dinner COLUMBIA, S. C. (UPI) An Armed Forces Day dinner for 4.000 Ft. Jackson visitors and servicemen Sunday appar ently brought violent illness to about 600 persons treated for food poisoning. It was a fried chicken din ner served in 94-dcgrce weather which Columbia doctors believ ed hospitalized almost 200 per sons in the area. In fact, the hospitals in the capital city area were so crowd ed treating food poison patients that at least one bus load of sick persons received a state highway patrol escort 65 miles. There were no deaths report ed from the food poisoning. Many doctors who treated the victims diagnosed their illness as food poisoning but one mili tary official denied it. 'There is no evidence of food poisoning, sail Col. Thomas G. Faison, hospital commander at Ft. Jackson, after 112 persons Moscow, said he would take any job he cm get. James Rand III, president of the Rand Corp., has said he felt a responsibility for Webster and would attempt to get him a job, though not with Rand's own firm. Webster, wearing the same blue suit he bought in Celevland and wore to the U.S.S.R., said he had no immediate plans ex cept that he wanted "to rest a little." He told newsmen he was confused and tired. He also appeared nervous. In New York he told news men he hoped for a reconcilia tion with his former wife, Mar tha, who has divorced him. for Poisoning at Army Base had been admitted to Army medical facilities. Hundreds of others had been treated by Army personnel and then re leased. "It appears to be a combi nation of heat exhaustion, over exertion and over-indulgence of food and drink," he added. However, while military au thorities were examining fur ther into the illnesses, many local physicians said they were definitely treating food poison ing. "We called it acute gastroen teritis (inflammation of the lin ing membrane of the stomach and the intestines) and our pa tients have been violently ill in some cases," said one doctor who treated a number of pa tients at Baptist Hospital. Hummingbirds are able to dart upward, downward, backward or forward. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow said it was informed Webster left behind a Russian girl and her baby in Leningrad when he returned to this country. Webster said he is in America to stay, "I missed my children and family and wife, of course," he said. "They treated me well in Russia but I don't want to go back." Webster, who worked as a plastics technician in the So viet Union with a salary he termed equivalent to $500 a month, said he had made a big mistake and wanted to rectify it. Webster turned in his pass port and renounced his U.S. citizenship in October, 1959. Three months later he applied for a permit to re-enter the United States but was refused. He Is here on a Soviet pass port which, he said, is for an indefinite period. Webster must seek American citizenship In the same manner as foreign-born immigrants. , PERSONAL CONSULTATION on Your PICTURE FRAMING J8 Years of Framing Experience Eugene Frame Co. Turn Right off River Road at River la Shopping Center I At 311 River Avenue I Argentina's Chief to Rule By Decree BUENOS AIRES OP Presi dent Jose Maria Guido Monday was accused of returning dicta torship to Argentina by sending Congress into a long recess and suspending political parties. His purpose was to purge Peronists from political life. Backed by the military chiefs who put him in to replace oust ed President Arturo Frondizi three months ago, the mild-man nered small-town lawyer who said he never aspired to power now will govern by decree for at least a year. Guido's dictatorship was con fronted with an immediate test of strength as workers on the government-run railroads began a 24-hour strike at midnight to protest delays in payment of salaries and pensions. Appeal Rejected Union leaders rebuffed at tempts by Economics Minister Alvaro Asogaray to stall off the walkout to give the regime time to bring the nation out of what the government called a finan cial crisis of the most serious character. Guido came under fire from leaders of his own Intransigent Radical Party and the opposi tion groups for his orders recess ing Congress for a year and sidelining political parties by ordering them to reorganize. Alfredo Vitolo, a major strate gist of the Intransigent Radicals who was interior minister in the Frondizi government, charged Guido and his military masters with "a sinister plan to liqui date the last vestiges of consti tutional government in South America's richest and second largest country. "A Civil Tyranny' Alfredo Palacios, veteran So cialist leader, denounced the Guido regime as "a civil tyran ny." In his orders issued after a six-hour Cabinet session, Guido said a new Congress would be elected next March 31 and a presidential election would be held by October 1963. The government "intervened" all political parties and said it would issue a new statute pro viding for their reorganization. Political party leaders were or dered to cease their functions. A government interventor will be named for each party to su pervise their reorganization, Ph.
